At the BAFTA Awards 2025, David Tennant, famously known as The Doctor from “Doctor Who,” made a splash by poking fun at then-U.S. President Donald Trump, causing much amusement among the audience. This was his comeback as the ceremony’s host and he didn’t hesitate to criticize the U.S. leader.

At the start of the event, the host kicked off the proceedings by playing the popular song “I’m Gonna Be”, and well-known personalities like Colman Domingo, James McAvoy, and Anna Kendrick joined in.

While amusing his audience with his humor and clever remarks, the actor playfully teased about Sebastian Stan’s hairstyle from his performance as President Trump on The Apprentice.

Expanding upon his comments, Tennant asserted that “The Brutalist” is a movie highlighting extraordinary architectural designs. More precisely, he considered it to be the most daring architectural representation in film this year, with the exception of Donald Trump’s hair in “The Apprentice.

Additionally, the event’s emcee remarked, “Donald Trump claims he hasn’t watched ‘The Apprentice’ since it has a U.K. rating of 15 and isn’t broadcast on Nickelodeon. I find that hard to believe. Donald Trump. I’m concerned. I’ve uttered his name thrice now, like ‘Beetlejuice’. Summoning him, and talking about villains…

Simultaneously, the actor amused the audience with his joke about Edward Berger’s Conclave. He commented, “In ‘Conclave’, Stanley Tucci portrays Cardinal Bellini, which seems fitting since if anyone knows how to prepare a top-notch Bellini cocktail…

Besides the event beginning with great enthusiasm, the films such as The Apprentice, The Brutalist, and Conclave have received multiple nominations across various categories for that evening.
